99 James Suckling
<br/>99 Wonderful aromas of fresh flowers, blackberries and cherries. Licorice and lilacs, too. Full-bodied, yet so tight and refined, translucent and weightless. Incredible purity and excellence. This is the heart and soul of the property in a glass. Really pinpointed at the end. Enchanting and thought-provoking. Needs time to open and soften. Try after 2028.
97 Vinous
The 2019 Bélair-Monange shows wonderful delineation and focus on the nose, which presents a cornucopia of red fruit, crushed stone, wilted rose petal and light black truffle aromas. It seems to gain complexity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, fine delineation and a velvety texture. This builds toward a lavish finish, with dark chocolate and cocoa notes lingering on the aftertaste. It will need several years in bottle but should repay those with the wherewithal to cellar.

95 Robert Parker
Like Trotanoy, though of course not to the same extent, the 2019 Belair Monange is another of the richer, more powerful wines in the Mouiex portfolio this year. Offering up aromas of sweet cherries, wild berries, vanilla pod, plum preserve, warm spices and cedary new oak, it's full-bodied, broad and muscular, with a deep and layered core of ripe, sun-kissed fruit that's framed by lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins.
95 Wine Spectator
This captures the richness of the vintage wonderfully, with long, caressing waves of cassis, plum reduction and boysenberry compote flavors gliding through. Laced with subtle red tea, floral and mineral hints through the lengthy finish, this is really well done and augmented by a level of purity most don't have in this vintage. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2040. —J.M. <br/>

Château Bélair-Monange
Château Bélair was renamed Château Bélair-Monange following its purchase by the Moueix family in 2008. Its location could not get much better being a close neighbor of Château d'Ausone and sitting directly on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau. Bélair-Monange is an ancient property. It was established in at least the 14th century and its owners remained the same for several centuries. In 1916, it was purchased by Edouard Dubois-Challon, the owner of Ausone. When his daughter-in-law took over in 1974, she hired Pascal Delbeck as winemaker. Upon her death, he inherited all her properties but was unable to pay for the taxes and other maintenance costs. So, in 2006, the firm JP Moueix bought a minority share and was able to secure the rest in 2008. In memory of Anne-Adèle Monange, mother of Jean-Pierre Moueix and first woman from the family to settle in Saint-Émilion in 1931, the vineyard was renamed from the vintage 2008: Château Bélair-Monange. This same year, the Moueix family decided to merge together the vineyards of its neighboring property, Magdelaine.
